DENVER NUGGETS VS. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES GAME 3 PREDICTION
Beating the Nuggets is hard, but beating them twice in the Mile High is one heck of an accomplishment.
A win tonight and the Wolves would be well set up for a Western Conference Finals appearance.
This will be no easy task as they face the defending champs.
In the past, Denver has shown their ability to play from behind in the playoffs.
The Nuggets roll into this contest as a 4.5-point underdog.
Nikola Jokic was just named a three-time MVP earlier this week. Jokic has averaged 27.0 points, 15.0 rebounds and 9.4 assists.
Jamal Murray has struggled to find his shot in this series. Murray has averaged 20.6 points per game in the playoffs.
Michael Porter Jr. has added 20.4 points per game and 5.3 rebounds in the series.
Anthony Edwards has averaged a team-best 32.3 points per game in the postseason.
Karl Anthony-Towns has added 20.7 points and 9.0 rebounds in the playoffs.
Rudy Gobert has averaged a postseason double-double with 13.2 points and 11.4.
DENVER NUGGETS VS. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES GAME 3 Pick
This line is an overreaction to Games 1 and 2.
Denver will play a desperate brand of basketball tonight.
While they have struggled in Games 1 and 2, they are too talented not to snap out of their offensive struggles.
Jokic will take control of this game tonight, and the Nuggets will stay within the number.
